Arbinet
launches data on thexchange, the Electronic Market
for Trading, Routing and Settling Internet Access
PRESS RELEASE
New Brunswick, NJ - July 22, 2004 - Arbinet, the
world's largest electronic marketplace for communications
trading, announced today the launch of data on thexchange,
the electronic market for trading, routing and settling
Internet access. Data on thexchange enables Tier
1 and regional service providers, content aggregators,
ISP's, cable operators, e-commerce businesses, gaming
providers and enterprises to buy and sell Internet
routes using Arbinet's automated trading system.
The platform routes buyer traffic to sellers of
the entire Internet or specific autonomous system
numbers (ASNs) and consolidates billing and collections
with one settlement.
Arbinet's trading system addresses these opportunities:
Companies that need high performing Internet access,
and do not wish to make a capital investment in
complicated and expensive route control or optimization
equipment
Organizations with bursty, variable traffic volumes
that experience high Internet access fees due to
95th percentile billing, and need to reduce costs
Fast growing companies with tight margins that need
to manage access costs as they grow and want flexible
commercial terms
Organizations with high traffic volumes that need
to efficiently manage multiple upstream suppliers,
paid peering connections, and route qualities without
adding internal resources
Arbinet Members can buy and sell three types of
service in the data on thexchange market:
OptimizedIP supports quality sensitive
buyers that want to maximize the quality of their
Internet traffic within their price requirements.
Businesses currently buy Internet capacity on a
best efforts basis. OptimizedIP provides exchange-based
route control and optimization service. It automatically
measures and selects the best performing Internet
routes from each seller within a buyer's price limit.
Thexchange then dynamically routes traffic across
all matching sellers using proprietary and patent
pending route optimization technology.
SelectIP allows members to trade,
route and settle traffic directed to a specific
destination on the Internet by autonomous system
number (ASN.) Buyers place ASN-specific bids on
thexchange and choose from responding seller offers.
SelectIP allows Members to purchase Internet capacity
for specific ASNs under 4-week, 8-week, and 12-week
contracts.
PrimeIP automates
the buying and selling of Internet capacity, allowing
Members to trade, route and settle standard "default"
Internet capacity through an automated system. Buyers
place a bid on thexchange and can choose from responding
seller offers. Members purchase Internet capacity
under 4-week, 8-week, and 12-week contracts.
"Our new Internet access services, traded
in the data on thexchange market, take advantage
of our experience in our voice exchange. These services
reduce costs for both buyers and sellers as well
as provide higher performance than is currently
available," says J. Curt Hockemeier, president
& CEO, Arbinet.
Roger Kim, Vice President data on thexchange adds,
"Not only is data on thexchange a better way
to buy and sell Internet access, but our managed
route optimization service, OptimizedIP, offers
Members an enhanced alternative to the existing
best-efforts Internet access. Our testing data of
the global Internet routing table indicates thexchange
offers exceptional end-to-end performance, measured
at an average 106ms latency, 0.015% packet loss
and 2.5ms jitter to all Internet routes during last
month."
